Pope Francis meets with Transgenders…

Pope Francis met with a group of transgenders this week and told transgender author Alessia Nobile to “always be myself.” Nobile also gave the Pope a copy of his autobiography, called “La bambina invisibile,” which details his transgender thoughts and desires while growing up.

Pope Francis reportedly told Nobile, “You did well to write your story. Bravo!”

Nobile added that Francis told him to “always be myself, but not to be wrapped up in prejudice against the Church.” The 43-year-old has a degree in social sciences, but currently earns his living as a “sex worker.”

Alessia Nobile, a sex worker, presented himself to #PopeFrancis “as a #transgender girl,” but said that Francis replied “he didn’t care who I was, that we have one Father, as if he wanted to tell me ‘You are a sister’.”  https://t.co/ny90XDN31D
